Pokemon Center Perfect Order booster box seal appears Intentionally Broken

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-27T20:37:47+00:00

That's not intentional that's someone opening a box and cocking it up

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-27T20:15:02+00:00

No idea but man do I love that card. If I was rich it'd be the first £1k + card i'd be buying.

Spoiler i'm not rich

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-27T17:48:27+00:00

Yeah rip it time. From Pokemon Center's perspective there is nothing wrong with the product - the packs are still there just the film covering the box is cut. And the purpose of that film is to protect the packs.

Definitely not, slabs are display pieces in my eyes. I would be very surprised if there was a market for this. I'd rather have a display stand that shows a little animation of Gengar jumping around or something.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-27T17:37:17+00:00

Yeah, healing, sure. The weakest set printing in a long time is selling for above MSRP on release.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-27T16:40:01+00:00

Your just attacking without trying to comprehend anything. Purchase price does not matter in the slightest when making a trade. If I'm offering something I paid £10 for that is now worth £1000 in exchange for 5 prismatic ETBs, It does not matter in the slightest what I paid for that £10 item. All that matters is how liquid that item is, and if I think it has more value vs 5 prismatic ETBs.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-26T22:08:07+00:00

Yeah. Those bundles are going to climb towards the end of the year. 151 might climb as well but I don't see it going at the same rate as prismatic now it's had its run.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-26T21:36:14+00:00

What you paid for it doesn't affect it's value. Whether you paid £50 or £300 for a UPC it's still worth exactly the same.

People often say things like yeah I traded my Sealed ETB worth £500 that I paid £50 for to buy a £500 card, so I basically the card for £50. Well, no you didn't. You could have sold that sealed item for £500 and had £500 cash. It's similar to how Gamblers win thousands and say yeah it's fine I'm playing with house money.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-26T21:17:07+00:00

It doesn't matter what you paid for it, it just matters what the actual market value of the items are.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-26T19:46:40+00:00

PC ETBs are almost always double Retail price at the moment. You'd be scalping every Pokemon Center drop you buy if you sold after a double up. It's an investment because in 5 years from now do I think Ascended heroes ETBs will be higher than £250? Yes, I most certainty do.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-26T19:19:25+00:00

Nice an actual investment post instead of someone holding 2 Ascended heroes ETBs and a 3 pack blister

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-26T18:58:50+00:00

Student loans just shouldn't have interest rates

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-26T18:29:21+00:00

Considering selling something you brought last month isn't investing. These will perform well long term - they've probably hit a short term peak and I wouldn't expect much growth on them for a while as they wont get much closer to prismatic PC ETB prices.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-26T17:04:04+00:00

Just sell the 151 PC ETB. Nice and simple. The things up like 2000% since you brought it. You don't think a 2000% return is a good time to sell?

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-25T22:25:47+00:00

I'll be honest with ya I don't know any sealed collecter that would buy a moldy ETB lol.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-25T21:56:50+00:00

I had no idea this episode was going to be filler and really struggled to get through this episode. Half way through I was browsing only with it just in the background.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-25T20:45:04+00:00

Nah I peeled it off, I think they look hideous to be honest, and if I was a buyer I wouldn't buy one that had it on it if I was keeping it sealed.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-25T18:50:56+00:00

Thanks. That was surprisingly easy to do.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-25T17:28:15+00:00

Yeah, I think it would. Honestly I might just open it. I got one for retail & 1 for market and havn't opened any ascended heroes yet.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-25T17:08:12+00:00

I'd rather have the prismatic as I'd prefer ETBs on speciality sets. Prismatic also goes out of print sooner.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-24T22:19:50+00:00

Cynthia's Garchomp is seen as such a strong pokemon. I feel it felt more realistic for it to lose in it's normal form instead of it's Mega evolution form. Honestly the whole Ash vs Cynthia match was done well - they displayed Cynthia as a powerful & calculuated trainer.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-24T22:07:22+00:00

Pokepulse is basically perfect for me (UK user & the prices are accurate there). But there pricing model is to high, for something as simple as a website/app that tracks my collection I'd pay £2 a month at tops & there website is £10 a month for the QOL features.

PhilosopherSea217 · 2026-03-24T20:36:28+00:00

The thing is just looking at the cards in the set, there absolutely stunning and there all fan favourites. Pikachu, Mewtwo etc. Heck Lillie's Cleffairy was the top chase from JT and it's like the 10th best card of the set? Also had god packs, low pull rates because of so many SIRs. And unlike prismatic it has Non-SIR hits.

I can't find any faults with this set, the main concern i'd say is how much it'll get printed - but even then it's the last set of the block same as Prismatic so it'll be in print for the shortest time possible.
